This is my dad's favorite book. It's great.

Powerful piece by Gideon Levy:

"The No. 1 thing for people to understand with this type of legislation is, while the headline is about kids, the actual implementation is about you” says @evangreer.bsky.social , director of digital rights advocacy group, @fightforthefuture.org www.governing.com/policy/state...

In light of everything this reads a lot more like a threat than a job ad.

The straightforward effect of adding more administrative burden on stores will be that fewer stores will accept SNAP. These are the equivalent of abortion TRAP laws, like mandating the width of a corridor.

“rejecting war is one thing, but i draw the line at someone urging for peace”

regardless of anything else they 100% shared a laugh about what a loser jdv is

Eastern Europeans in the 13th century: It's absolute horses

Would genuinely be interested to see what proportion of Free Press coverage used to be about government and negative in tone before the Trump administration, and how this has switched. This story is critical of some governments (European) for stifling dissent, while praising the Trump admin.

Axios has reported that there is a WOLF OUTSIDE THE VILLAGE! We need to do something! There's a wolf! WOLF!!!

"When I reached a former longtime senior FBI official to ask whether he’d ever seen personally branded liquor bottles distributed by a previous FBI director, he burst out laughing."

I was disappointed with how this episode from a few weeks ago performed. I thought it was well done and feel like more people should have watched/listened to it. youtu.be/umeomDs7_Jc

it seems the Saudis blocked Trump's latest brain fart "idea" to open up Hormuz. lol www.nbcnews.com/politics/whi...

"Gabriel" shares, "We're thinning nectarines. This job involves removing excess fruit in areas where it grows too densely ensuring that the remaining crop develops in good condition. We work 8 hours a day and are paid minimum wage." #WeFeedYou

not flinching at the phrase "Poster's Bushido" probably means i should log off

He's usually better at framing than most anyone wants to give him credit for, but "This is my Vietnam, but faster" is a bold swing.

IT'S NOT WORTH IT PETEY

"One of the most baffling themes of Donald Trump’s second term is how he is specifically ruining the cities and lives of his most loyal voters—taking their factories, their jobs, their health care, their hospitals, and their future." prospect.org/2025/10/09/d...

The American League is putting the mid in middling: defector.com/the-american...

"If next week’s Trump visit to China happens, it may well mark the sunset of the US empire."

fascinating idea. this company builds an integrated solar and L2 EV charging bank apparatus for parking lots, preps the site beforehand, and installs it in a day or two. perfect for hospitals and such youtu.be/XiI9oRY_sJQ?...

NEW: 404 Media’s experimentation with Haotian AI marks the first time a journalist has managed to test this deepfake software to see how it really works. What did we learn? Haotian AI demonstrates its tool as a way to impersonate at least one US police department. And it's extremely effective.

you think you can riff with *me*?? (yes you can)

Department chair meeting with associate professor asking for a raise and a better parking spot

once discourse falls below drought levels they should release everyone's saved posts

The traditional left-right axis matters less than a calculation of "is this person going to fight for me?" Any Dem will be classified as a radical anyway, and Trump showed that many voter's preferences are more emotional than ideological.

New from 404 Media: we've obtained a copy of the Chinese-language realtime deepfake software powering scams around the world. For weeks I spoke to these scammers, sent them photos of my face to build a deepfake. We reveal how it works. Impacts WhatsApp, Teams, Zoom www.404media.co/hello-boss-i...

The speed at which I subscribed

it is kind of funny that the chinese social media company ranks best for policies on lgbtq users

Based on the vast DC consensus, Israel is still America’s ally. But without a doubt, Israel’s government is an enemy of human rights. And our endless abetting of their abuses and atrocities, unfortunately, says as much about us as it does about Israel.

A mass shooting at the world famous Teotihuacan Pyramids in Mexico killed two people and left over a dozen injured last month. The shooter was later identified as Julio Ramírez, a 27 year old man who idolized fascism and the Columbine massacre. unicornriot.ninja/2026/the-teo...

Mark Carney wants Canada to be more European, but that doesn’t mean ensuring the Canadian public has pharmacare like they do in Europe.

incredibly important work here that you should support

⚠️ Documents obtained by a consortium of journalists show the role of a Moscow university in training operatives in Russian military intelligence related to hacking and election meddling. The files cover several years of activity up to 2025.

the crazy thing about this is that an expanded tournament would be to the detriment of the majority of the members of the selection committee!

Israel killed the son of a chief negotiator in the talks over Gaza's future in an airstrike. He is the FOURTH son of Hamas' exiled Gaza chief killed by Israel.

The IDF says it’s investigating an incident in which an IDF soldier in southern Lebanon desecrated a statue of the Virgin Mary.

Our episode with @bencollins.bsky.social talking about how it took The Onion to bring down Alex Jones is out now wherever you listen to podcasts!

Good morning Bluesky! The burn on this TV tray is from when @leedsunited.com beat Leicester in a key game a season or two ago and I got too excited. I put down my fresh #coffeewithhunter pot to cheer a goal. I have kept it to mark the occasion. Super Leeds!

When you realize you could have down The Odyssey with a Boston accent

right, if you’re going to throw hands, at least be honest about what you’re doing

For @ms.now, I wrote about the Trump administration going after Smith College, a New England women's college, over allowing trans women to attend the school. The investigation not only threatens the school, but also the surrounding town, which I live in. www.ms.now/news/trump-s...

as someone who enjoys talking shit, I too am a big believer in accepting the very easy-to-anticipate possible consequences of talking shit

11,000? those are rookie numbers, you gotta pump those numbers up

they definitely make policy decisions that reflect what they they think things should be. how else do you get to a decision that says "actually gender affirming care bans don't target trans people, they target the diagnosis of gender dysphoria"?

The Odyssey but it's just trying to get from Amherst to Boston without a car

Operation Enduring Afternoon

After her art gallery in Athens, Greece was set aflame, the owner said the attack happened because she had a message on her gallery window reading “This Gallery is not genocide friendly.” [Video] unicornriot.ninja/2026/greece-...

Have sociolinguists studied lexical diffusion and lexical contagion among popular LLMs? I'm starting to notice every few months, certain phrases start slipping into the LLM generated text I read. "X is load-bearing for Y" is an example of an idiom that has started to be overused by LLMs.

basically all my clothes are from Uniqlo and I feel very….seen

it is exhausting to add so many qualifiers!

This is all sadly correct.

What an absolutely batshit insane to do.

EFF sees through the thin veil of internet censorship bills that claim to "protect the kids." Age-gating the internet is not the answer, and we're fighting back. eff.org/spring

the level you have to fuck up to get the SAUDIS to tell you to fuck off - especially given MBS’ relationship with the Trump family - is truly extraordinary

Yep. Loved the buzz, but didn’t want friends to know.

Jorts don’t step on my sandwich. Jorts stop walking on my neck. Jorts don’t pee in the sink. What happened to freedom

I don’t want to brag, but my daughter brought home Krispy Kreme donuts for me as a surprise treat.

the billionaire tax is incredibly popular and will pass by a wide margin but only one person running for governor supports it? and most of these people have won elections before?

“To be needed and cared for simultaneously is transformative.” A beautiful remembrance:

the way you handle this if you’re playing against the spurs is: you don’t if he’s hitting this shit you just lose, the end, try again next game and hope he doesn’t hit these

me: I will order from the pasta place rather than driving to in-n-out because I am exhausted and do not want to leave the house doordash: last time you ordered from there you picked up your food. that means you’re going to drive there and pick up your food again right? me: welp

My grandpa passed yesterday. He said he lived a full live. He was happy with his family, his love, and where the paths he’d chosen led him. But what breaks my heart is he told me he had only one regret: Not seeing another Star Fox 64 remake before he went. Missed it by one day.

Had to take this picture because the lighting was phenomenal. I’m titling it “The Queen of the Castle”

Fifty years since the end of the American bombing campaign over southeast Asia and the country of Laos is still littered with unexploded bombs that kill hundreds every year. We heard from locals and NGO's about ongoing efforts to remove the bombs. unicornriot.ninja/2026/the-ame...

Every day I find a new cursed concept on here. yesterday it was "baby teeth layers"

the people described in the quoted skeet do not exist, as many studies over the past 18 months have pointed out. she lost because a whole lot of Black and Brown men who voted for Joe Biden in 2020 didn't vote for the Democratic candidate in 2024.

I'm ok with him getting it tbh

can we go one (1) week without a moderation fiasco on here

Is this the Supreme Court judge whose wife keeps flying fascist flags outside their various houses? Or the one who got a bunch of debt paid off and taken on fancy vacations paid for by billionaires? Or is he just one of the ones who authors & joins opinions that upend the rule of law?

Indigenous leaders and water protectors rallied at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers district HQ in St. Paul to call for an immediate stop of Enbridge Line 5 construction that threatens the waterways of the Bad River Band of Lake Superior Chippewa. More: unicornriot.ninja/2026/indigen...

if you want to attend a hefat training, i attended a 2-day course (no simulations or using gear) via Crisis Ready Media (www.crisisreadymedia.org), which runs on donations. if you can’t attend a training, at the very least buy an IFAK from North American Rescue & check out stopthebleed.org

I used to have political convictions but then I got scolded by John Roberts. That’s an important part of his job. Now I see that it’s time for me to listen and learn.

yeah it is WILD how many people want to chat with their documents

So mightn’t the final irony be that the nation that gave the world toilet paper now gives it what it’s giving it today?

an unlimited bibimbap glitch could fix me

I can’t believe we’re still doing this. Knight Rider is actually the driver. The car is “Knight Rider’s Monster.”

The FBI is famously aggressive in going after people for "unauthorized use" of its seal (they threatened Wikipedia years ago!). Is Kash putting it on bourbon bottles allowed? (Also, freaking hilarious that The Atlantic bought one).

Drop Site also looked into the disappearance of these women. The Israeli military, after several weeks of going back and forth, finally provided this comment: "The three individuals mentioned in the query are not being held by the IDF, and there is no indication that they were held in IDF...
